From the New England Journal of Medicine come the news: of more that 400,000 subjects, "there was a significant inverse association between coffee consumption and mortality" and "Inverse associations were observed for deaths due to heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke, injuries and accidents, diabetes, and infections" (the associations are between coffee and mortality, so inverse correlation is good unless you have suicidal tendencies). However, "Whether this was a causal or associational finding cannot be determined from our data."

It turns out previous research that found coffee harmful was flawed by not taking into account that heavy coffee drinkers are more likely to be smokers. Amazing, not normalizing for smoking!

That's cool, now they have to start looking for reasons that association might exist. Antioxidants are an obvious option but I doubt that's the whole picture. It would be interesting to see if sugar and/or cream in the coffee makes a difference.

But it tastes so terrible. If I have to drink coffee, it's being mixed with so much milk there really is no coffee left.

You're obviously confused. Coffee is delicious. It is better without mild or sugar, so that is probably what is causing your confusion, you've only tried it with milk. Stop over sometime, and I'll brew you a cup of the good stuff!

I have to disagree with you there Doc, coffee is best with loads of cream and 2 heaped teaspoons of sugar. Mmmm

I'm kind of like Oscar in that regard, black coffee, and no mixers for the adult beverages. Nothing like a quality single malt scotch on the rocks. Or you can mix the two by making an Irish coffee. I like to make the coffee strong, so you don't water it down when you add the Irish whiskey. Then some Irish cream, and a little whip cream. Usually Jamison and Bailey's. Tasty for sure, but it'll put some hair on your chest.

Why deny yourself the pleasure of a little sugar? You've been negatively influenced by Stu

pffft :)~
